at one time, posibly both. Reagan was, after all, a high ranking union boss, but like my kitten, he opened his eyes and saw reality. I have friends, including the mayor of the city I live in, who are liberal Democrats, but they cannot debate their points with any success whatsoever....I think most of them were raised in liberal households and simply cannot believe that dad and mom would have steered them wrong. they seem to be waiting for things to get better, but are unwilling to do anything to make that happen
Reagan learned how to deal with communists when he was president of the Screen Actors Guild.
